I thought about 18's but saw the difference on two cars and I liked the 19's.

Price wise, 19's don't get much cheaper than 950 a set. Although I saw some Alzor wheels at ECS tuning for really really cheap, but after shipping etc you're coming up to that same price.

Tires are also not $500 for 19" tires. Maybe on 18's when they go on sale.... you might be in for a little sticker shock.
Yea I still got to check the prices. I might end up getting stock BMW wheels (still 19's or 18's, X5 wheels or some style 124 wheels) possibly as my second set until i can afford the ones I really want. I can see myself owning this E60 for the next 7+ years if I do everything I want to it.
